RISC-V permits myriad extensions to the ISA, any of which may imply additional context that must be saved and restored on ISR entry and exit. The current in-tree example is the Pulpino core, which has extra registers used by ISA extensions for running loops that shouldn't get clobbered by an ISR. This is currently supported by including pulpino-specific definitions in the generic architecture code. This works, but it's a bit inelegant and is something of a layering violation. A more generic mechanism is required to support other RISC-V SoCs with similar requirements without cluttering the arch code too much. Provide that by extending the semantics of the existing CONFIG_RISCV_SOC_CONTEXT_SAVE option to allow other SoCs to allocate space for saving and restoring their own state, promoting the currently pulpino-specific __soc_save_context / __soc_restore_context routines to a RISC-V arch API. The cost of making this generic is two more instructions in each ISR to pass the SoC specific context to these routines in a0 rather than just assuming the stack points to the right place. This is minimal, and should have been done anyway to keep with the ABI. As a first (and currently only in-tree) customer, convert the Pulpino SoC code to this new mechanism.
